9=. Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff, £90M

8 January, 1998

Failure to secure Department for National Heritage funding has forced the Wales Millennium Centre to scale down some of its plans. WMC wanted between £16M and £19M of Heritage money to allow inclusion of a high-tech Welsh history museum. But although £27M of Millennium Commission money and an £8.3M Arts Council grant ensure that the building can go ahead, plans for the museum's contents are less certain.
